I have an RV, but I want to flat tow my Kia Soul behind it. I’ve never flat towed it before, and it’s the version that has an automatic transmission. Is it possible to flat tow a Kia Soul with an automatic?

You cannot flat tow a Kia Soul with an automatic transmission, nor can you tow a newer one that has a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Since 2020, the Soul has only been made with a CVT, while it came with either an automatic or manual transmission from 2010 to 2019.
The only way that you can flat tow a Soul is if you have one of the old manual transmissions. Since you don’t, you’ll have to buy a flatbed trailer to tow the automatic version of the Soul.
If you want to save some money for a flatbed trailer—which typically runs between $1,000 and $3,000—start by lowering your
